Relevant Context 

Burkina Faso is a developing country where, in its INDC, the themes of Mitigation and adaptation have been integrated, both linked: to '' reduce '' must '' adapt '' mainly because the sectors of agriculture, forestry, land use (AFOLU) are emissions producers but also a major sequestration sectors.

Process for Developing NDC 

Precursors to the INDC include the creation of a National Implementation Strategy of the Convention on Climate Change adopted in November 200; the National Action Programme of Adaptation to Climate Change (NAPA) in 2007; Developing a framework the NAMA (2008); and, the National Adaptation Plan.

Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism 

To support and monitor issues of climate change, Burkina Faso has created the National Council for Environment and Sustainable Development with extended missions. •The Coordination Unit will work with the above departments and other crosscutting ministries, such as the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Ministry of the Promotion of Women and Gender and the Ministry of International Cooperation, within the framework of the financing agreements. Finally, it will coordinate with the civil society structures and the institutions representing the private sector.

Summary of Gender Reference 

- The use of improved cook stoves permits local and rural populations to improve their health (because of the respiratory diseases caused by the inhalation of carbon monoxide that they avoid). The households, and principally the women, can then save the costs incurred for health care - Implementation of INDC: The Coordination Unit will work with the above departments and other crosscutting ministries, such as the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Ministry of the Promotion of Women and Gender and the Ministry of International Cooperation, within the framework of the financing agreements. Finally, it will coordinate with the civil society structures and the institutions representing the private sector.
